LAS VEGAS, Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International and BetMGM, the joint venture between MGM Resorts and
Entain, are proud to join the American Gaming Association (AGA) as
official partners of its Have A Game Plan®
mission. Have A Game Plan aims to promote responsible sports
wagering to new consumers and seasoned bettors. This announcement
coincides with the AGA's Responsible Gaming Education Week (RGEW).
As the industry experiences monumental growth, RGEW 2021 is
highlighting MGM Resorts and BetMGM's unified commitment to
responsible gaming.
Throughout RGEW, MGM Resorts and BetMGM are sharing important
responsible gaming tips and information through its social media
channels. MGM Resorts and BetMGM will continue to promote its
responsible gaming education throughout the year by providing
useful information, tools and resources on its apps and
websites.
"We are proud to become a partner of such an important
initiative for the industry," said Richard
Taylor, Responsible Gambling Program Manager, BetMGM.
"Through GameSense, we are committed to doing our part in creating
a fun and safe experience for customers."
As MGM Resorts and BetMGM continue to expand and evolve its
sports betting and other gaming platforms, responsible gaming
education remains a key focus. GameSense is an industry-leading
program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British
Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), focusing on positive,
transparent and proactive conversations with players about how to
gamble responsibly. The program comes alive through personal
interactions between guests and trained staff based at each
property's M life Rewards desk. In addition to speaking to trained
employees – known as GameSense Advisors – guests also utilize
interactive GameSense touchscreens and educational materials, and
other resources found at the M life Rewards Desk.
Garrett Farnes, Responsible
Gaming Compliance Manager, MGM Resorts, said, "This partnership
complements our ongoing commitment to GameSense. GameSense has been
an instrumental part of the MGM Resorts guest service model since
2017, helping customers understand the risks, where to get help and
ultimately, how to keep gaming fun."
